Moonlight sprinkled on the balcony.

Ji Cheng shook the wine glass lightly, and then he raised his head and drank the wine in the wine glass.

Next to the housekeeper Michael. Baker handed over the cigar and took the glass and placed it on the small round table, then poured another half glass.

"Big brother." Ji Aiguo, who was sitting, asked with some concern: "Do you have something on your mind?" ”

"Why do you ask?"

Ji Cheng turned to look at his young father, his originally expressionless face was full of smiles, as if he really didn't have anything on his mind.

Ji Aiguo has been in the beautiful country for a few days, and he understands some things in the financial circle under the influence of working at Huajin Bank, "Recently, the bank has not been peaceful. ”

Ji Cheng knew that the bank he was referring to was Huajin Bank, so he sat on the recliner casually, "Oh? What's not a rule of law? ”

In the past, Ji Aiguo was a little honest, but after coming to the beautiful country for so long, he became a little sleek, he didn't say what was going on directly, but reminded euphemistically: "Recently, the bank has let me start to contact customers." ”

You must know that although Ji Aiguo has been in Huajin Bank for a while, his English cannot be completely spoken, let alone his business ability.

And now the bank actually wants Ji Aiguo, a person who is not very familiar with the business and has a bit of a hard time to communicate, to contact and communicate with customers, it is obvious that there is a shortage of people to a certain extent, and it still encountered a wave of resignations in a short period of time.

Because of the free dismissal system in the beautiful country, unless specifically stated in the contract, you can leave at any time without even notifying the employer, so if a large number of employees in the company resign at the same time, it will inevitably bring trouble to the operation.

Ji Cheng had prepared for this aspect before, as long as the employees in the slightly more important positions signed special terms, there were provisions for resignation, and they had to report a month in advance.

The grassroots employees of Huajin Bank will definitely not sign such a contract, but listening to Ji Aiguo's meaning, it is not like the resignation of grassroots employees, because it involves contacting customers.

Well, there is only one possibility.

A large number of mid-level employees at Huajin Bank have resigned even if they did not hesitate to default.

That's a huge amount of liquidated damages, which ordinary people really don't do, and now the problem is that more than one person does this, and it is clear that someone is making trouble.

As for who it is, you don't have to guess.

Ji Cheng was not angry at all, on the contrary, he smiled and said, "Tomorrow you go to find Kenneth. Lewis. ”

"Looking for the president?"

Ji Aiguo was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Ji Cheng meant.

"Hmm." Ji Cheng took a cigar and took a puff, savored it for a while before slowly exhaling, "You and Kenneth. Lewis said what I said, and held accountable those employees who resigned in default. ”

"Huh?" Ji Aiguo was even more confused, and hurriedly said: "But I heard the senior executives talk privately about the company's situation is not very good, if hundreds of people are held accountable at this time, not only will they have to pay huge legal fees, but also waste a lot of manpower, and if things get bigger, the corporate image will also be damaged." ”

Why didn't Ji Cheng know this?

But if he doesn't do anything now, the Rockefeller family will be even more excessive, and the employees of other subsidiaries and even Huajin Capital will not be held accountable for their breach of contract and resignation, and then they will easily leave with the company's secrets as soon as they are lured.

Ji Cheng must deter this group of people who ignore the rules of the game.

At the very least, there must be a deterrent until we see the dawn of victory.

"Just do what I say, I naturally have my reasoning, and you will understand it later." Ji Cheng didn't explain too much.

Ji Aiguo knew not to talk too much about what he shouldn't ask, so he simply didn't say more, "Okay, I know." ”

Ji Cheng put down the cigar, picked up the red wine glass again, took a sip, smacked his lips and said, "How are you studying at Huajin Bank recently?" ”

"Okay." Ji Aiguo smiled honestly, "Everyone is very friendly to me, and they are willing to teach me what they don't understand, maybe they know my relationship with you." ”

Ji Cheng smiled and said: "Okay, patriotic, don't blame the brother for saying you, you must study hard and grow up as soon as possible, you have also seen the war between Joaquin Capital, the Boston Consortium and the Rockefeller family this time, outsiders have always been unreliable, as the saying goes, father and son soldiers...... Well, Brother Tiger, I hope that one day you can take charge of yourself and carry the banner for me. ”

Ji Aiguo said with a firm face: "Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to study." ”

"I'll talk to you about ...... again"

Ji Chengzheng wants to teach Ji to love the country.

Suddenly, the mobile phone on the small round table rang.

"Wait a minute, take the phone."

"Okay, you're busy with yours first."

After a short exchange, Ji Cheng picked up the mobile phone and connected it and stuck it in his ear, "I'm Ji Cheng." ”

"Ji, it's me."

There was a slightly old but powerful man's voice over there, it was Edward!

Ji Cheng, who was still lying on the recliner, sat up suddenly, showing a serious look, "How is it?" ”

"As you might expect, that Lawrence guy is still a little skeptical that I really fell out with you." Edward said with a smile in his voice, "But like you said, even if he knew that it was a conspiracy, he resolutely jumped in. ”

Ji Cheng was overjoyed and said: "You sold all the shares in your hand to him?" ”

"It's almost the same talk, but I bit the 20% premium, and he thinks the price is a bit high, and he says that he needs to think about it carefully." Edward sighed and said, "Lawrence, this guy is cunning, it seems that it is a bit troublesome for him to make up his mind to buy the equity in my hand all at once, and I am worried that the night will be long, what if he finds something?" Or maybe he dragged it out for a few days, and our plan was about to fail. ”

yes, though now Lawrence. Rockefeller was tempted by Edward's shares in Boston's First National Bank, but this did not sign a contract, which was always unfavorable to Ji Cheng and others.

It's just that they have done everything they can, and even the bitter meat trick has been used. Rockefeller still didn't buy Edward's shares, and Ji Cheng could only endure this old guy more than Sima Yi.

At that time, he will not only lose the golden opportunity to annex Chase, but I am afraid that he will also be attacked even more fiercely by the Rockefeller family.

"Let's see if he continues to look for you."

Ji Cheng has no better idea for the time being.

"It's up to people to make things happen, your plan has been seamless, if this old thing can escape, it can only be said that luck is too good." Edward was a little reluctant.

The two chatted a few more words and hung up the phone.

Ji Cheng pinched his mobile phone and sat there without saying a word, his brows were furrowed together, he really didn't know Lawrence. Why did Rockefeller resist such a huge temptation?

……

on the balcony of the other place.

Lawrence. Rockefeller also sat on a chaise longue and drank red wine.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

He picked it up and listened to it, then pressed the hang up button.

"Humph!" Lawrence. Rockefeller couldn't help but sneer, "Edward really has a problem. ”

Originally, he had heard that Edward and the Boston consortium had fallen out, and felt that the best opportunity had finally come, so he resolutely contacted Edward to get the shares of First National Bank of Boston from him.

Lawrence. Rockefeller has always been bold in his work, otherwise it would not have been possible to immediately mobilize a large amount of money to attack the First National Bank of Boston.

But courage sometimes equals recklessness, so David. Rockefeller would have been reminded from time to time when he was alive.

Lawrence, who was negotiating with Edward on the phone. It occurred to Rockefeller that if his brother were still alive, what he would do in such a situation, and he would carefully investigate what might be the problem.

It is also true that before he decided to talk to Edward, he did a lot of research on the five heads of the Boston consortium and Ji Cheng, and did not find any clues, so he contacted Edward.

Just thinking of David. After Rockefeller, Lawrence. Rockefeller felt that he was not careful enough, so he did a series of investigations from other aspects.

For example, in terms of call logs.

Although the executives of many large enterprises, whether it is Ji Cheng or the beautiful country, will use encrypted phones, it is impossible for enterprises and individuals to use encrypted phones for every conversation.

Lawrence. Rockefeller's people found out that there are a large number of call records within Joaquin Capital and some banks in Japan recently!

He inquired in many ways, and finally learned that Ji Cheng had recently borrowed a large amount of money from Riben Bank, which was not much worse than the syndicate loan program led by Chase Bank and Citibank.

"Sixty-eight billion dollars in loans?" Lawrence. Rockefeller narrowed his eyes, "What do you want to do?" Is it trying to snipe at me for annexing First National Bank in Boston? ”

At this juncture, Ji Cheng borrowed billions of dollars from Riben Bank last year, what else can he do besides sniping at Chase Bank to annex First National Bank in Boston?

First, Huajin Capital itself has a large amount of cash, which is well known to the outside world, and it is said that the scale of funds is as high as seven or eight billion US dollars.

Second, Huajin Capital has not announced any major investment projects recently.

These two points are combined with an analysis, and everyone knows that Huajin Capital does not need to borrow a huge amount of $6.8 billion from Riben Bank.

But now Ji Cheng has done it.

This was done at a very critical point when Chase Bank wanted to annex First National Bank in Boston.

Then the answer is coming!

Ji Cheng is going to snipe Chase Bank's annexation of Boston's First National Bank!

How many means are there for a hostile takeover?

Lawrence. How could Rockefeller not know about the ups and downs of the financial markets of the beautiful country for decades?

Generally speaking, there are three types of means of dealing with hostile takeovers.

Respectively, they say the Poison Pill Project, the White Knight, and the Anti-Devouring Defense.

Because the poison pill plan and the anti-phagogue defense operation method involved important corporate decisions, Chase Bank became the majority shareholder of First National Bank in Boston, and if these two strategies were adopted, it would be easy to find clues.

At least Lawrence. Rockefeller hasn't found anything wrong so far, so he thinks that Ji Cheng didn't get such a large amount of money to implement the poison pill plan and anti-devouring defense for the Boston consortium, and most likely it was the white knight.

What is a white knight called?

A white knight is a target company that looks for a bona fide acquirer to avoid a hostile takeover.

When a company is threatened with a takeover, in order to prevent the company from falling into the hands of a hostile takeover, it can choose a powerful company with a close relationship with it to reach a bona fide acquisition on more favorable terms.

The simple summary is that it is better to give to friends than to foreign thieves.

This is Lawrence. Rockefeller speculated on the role of Ji Cheng's funds.

Just now his people also found out another problem, that is, the Rockefeller family sent people to spy on other consortiums to report. Shortly after Rockefeller and Edward ended their call, Edward's location and Ji Cheng's location were detected at almost the same time as a mobile phone call signal fluctuation, and disappeared almost at the same time.

Although Ji Cheng and Edward's mobile phones are confidential, the call signal fluctuations in the two places at the same time and end at the same time, the key is still with him Lawrence. After Rockefeller hung up the phone, there was a good chance that two people got in touch.

"They're having a falling out with the outside world, but they're talking on the phone again, so I'm a fool and don't know?"

Lawrence. Rockefeller secretly wondered, but he really couldn't understand why he was willing to sell a large number of shares to him since Ji Cheng and Edward showed him acting?

And he also speculated just now that Ji Cheng borrowed a large amount of money from Riben Bank to prepare to act as a white knight.

The White Knight wants to get a large stake from the target company, how can he get Edward to sell the stake to Chase Bank?

There is no reason at all.

"Don't worry about it for now, let's see for a few days, if there is no action from Joaquin Capital and the Boston consortium, I will buy these shares."

Lawrence. Rockefeller was very cautious.

As everyone knows, his decision hit exactly the seventh inch of Ji Cheng's plan, as long as Lawrence. If Rockefeller can hold out for more than ten days without being tempted by a large amount of equity, then Ji Cheng's plan to combine the conspiracy with the yang conspiracy will be self-defeating.

……

The night breeze was blowing slowly, and it was a little cold.

Ji Cheng leaned back on the recliner and was also analyzing Lawrence. Why was Rockefeller able to resist such a huge temptation?

Does this old guy think that a 20 percent premium is too expensive?

Or...... What did he know?

Ji Cheng sat up again suddenly, he felt that the second possibility was very high!

If this old guy knows something, then who told him?

Lodge Sr., Robert. Lawrence, Aimee. Neither Lowell nor Adams IV had a relationship with Lawrence. Rockefeller was in contact with it, and the only one who had contact was Edward.

Could this guy really rebelled?

Know that you plan to go roughly to Edward!

If this person does defect, then the next step will be tricky!

As long as the Rockefeller family survives this time, Ji Cheng's plan will fail.

What to do?

Lawrence. Did Rockefeller really turn against Edward?

Ji Cheng thought hard in his head, this kind of thing can't be asked directly, otherwise Edward is very likely to be angry if he doesn't rebel, don't really rebel at that time.

If Edward had defected, it would have been impossible to ask anything.

What to do?

How, exactly?

Ji Cheng was anxious in his heart.

"What's wrong, big brother?" Ji Aiguo asked with concern.

Ji Cheng's face was not very good-looking: "I thought of some bad things." ”

Ji Aiguo said: "Can you talk to me?" ”

The specific matter must not be said for the time being, because this matter is known to Ji Cheng himself and the five heads of Boston, even if Ji Aiguo is one of his closest people, but there is still Michael standing next to him. Baker? Although it has always been Michael. Baker didn't understand Chinese Mandarin, but who knows if it was disguised?

So Ji Cheng definitely can't say it explicitly, but he has to brainstorm again, ponder and say: "Didn't I buy Columbia Electronic Music Company before, and recently I have been thinking about a police and gangster film, the kind of high-IQ undercover with each other." ”

Ji Aiguo listened carefully, "And then?" ”

Michael. Baker also looked at it with curiosity, he couldn't understand Huaxia's Mandarin.

Ji Cheng smacked his lips and said: "Then I want to design a plot, the people in the police station found that there may be an undercover agent of a bad guy among their peers, and they probably know who it is, but they are not sure whether this person is an undercover agent of the enemy, how do you say they should be tempted?" ”

Ji Aiguo said with a big grin: "Isn't it okay to just transfer him out of his post?" In this way, it doesn't matter if he is an undercover agent of the enemy or not, as long as he is not in this position, then he cannot play the role of an undercover agent. ”

Ji Cheng couldn't laugh and said, "But then I can't find out if he is an undercover agent of the enemy." ”

Ji Aiguo blinked and said: "If he is really an undercover agent of the enemy, and he is transferred out of his post and cannot detect intelligence, he will definitely resign by himself, and then I will know if he is undercover?" ”

Ji Cheng still wanted to argue a few sentences.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.

That's right!

If you are not in this position, you will not be able to detect intelligence, and you can only resign voluntarily?

In the same way, if Edward was really reversed, then the only way to lose his stake in Boston's First National Bank was to rely on the Rockefeller family.

Even if Edward was not rebelled, according to Ji Cheng's plan, he would not have any contact with everyone after selling his shares to the Rockefeller family.

That is, the shares in Edward's hands will definitely be temporarily transferred.

Then, if this person is rebelled, his plan will not succeed, on the contrary, Edward's holding the shares and acting as his own person will provide more information to the Rockefeller family, making it easier for the Boston consortium and Ji Cheng to be defeated.

So according to this analysis, if you let Edward temporarily leave the "post" for a period of time, don't you know if he has been rebelled by the Rockefeller family?

Ji Cheng has a rough idea and knows what to do next.

He had a new plan in mind, a plan that would bring benefits to himself and the Boston consortium regardless of whether Edward really rebelled or not, and even, if Edward really didn't rebel, he could force Lawrence. Rockefeller had to sell the shares as soon as possible.

Probably Ji Cheng and Lawrence. What Rockefeller didn't expect was that they each guessed each other's actions wrong, but they were secretly still intriguing and thinking about how to fight, and they really faced each other!
